About this quest
Welcome to Brussels, where wit is your weapon and €10,000 is on the line. You’ve been selected for a mysterious game show that promises riches, just when your student debts are closing in.
But as the challenges unfold, it becomes clear: this isn’t your average trivia night. To win, you’ll need to walk the city, follow cryptic clues, and uncover the hidden legacies of famous figures who once walked these same streets. Twists await at every corner, and the line between game and reality begins to blur.
Gather your smartest friends or your boldest family members—this is a real-world quest that blends brainpower, bonding, and Brussels. Do you have what it takes to win it all?
